Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to World Academic Press undergo a double-blind peer review process. This ensures that both the reviewers and authors remain anonymous to each other, fostering an unbiased evaluation.

  1. Initial Screening: The editorial team checks the manuscript for scope, formatting, and plagiarism.
  2. Reviewer Assignment: Two or more independent experts in the field are invited to review the work.
  3. Evaluation: Reviewers assess originality, methodology, clarity, and contribution to the field.
  4. Decision: The Editor-in-Chief makes a final decision based on reviewer reports (Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject).
